I bring cold-brew iced tea bags with an empty water bottle, and unsalted nuts. It's not the fanciest, and if I can get a salad in the airport I will, but it keeps me from starving.

I think you're going to have a hard time finding any bright colors that go with that duvet. I don't think that red/blue carpet is going to go with it either. Maybe some sort of light yellow color for curtains, or on that one wall were you can't hang anything? You could go with sort of a yellow/plum/grey color theme? You could paint the walls grey, but you'd still have the cream colored carpet, which I don't think is going to go well with grey walls. You might try a very light yellow for all the walls. And then yellow or plum curtains and some yellow and plum throw pillows and artwork, and see how that looks. Good luck with it.

I love the couch! What a monster, though. Honestly, I think I would stick to lighter colored woods, and neutrals for the walls and carpets, and a few more strong reds here and there (art or pillows or whatever) to tie it together.

I've been looking at paleo cookbooks lately, and some of them had ingredient descriptions and explanations in the front for the more unusual ingredients, including coconut oil (since they generally cut out dairy). I think the one "500 Paleo Recipes" by Dana Carpender, was the one I remember that had the most explanations. You might go to a bookstore or library and see if any of the paleo cookbooks they have have some explanations.

You should try a pot with a water reservoir; I think they call them self-watering pots or something. I got mine at Home Depot; mine are for African Violets. I water them like once every three weeks, and give them a few drops of AV food in the water and that's really it (set it near a window, though). And there's no worrying if the plant is too dry or too wet; you just fill the reservoir up and you're done with the plant for a few weeks.

My parents never forced us to eat anything, and my mom is an excellent cook, so I grew up eating pretty much anything. But I have never liked bananas, and even though I've tried them as a grownup, I still think they're disgusting.

My parents' house is a colonial farmhouse. When they bought it in the 70s it had white walls and black shutters. After they renovated it they researched appropriate colors and painted it a pale yellow ochre with slate blue shutters. What amuses me is seeing how many other houses (which formerly also had white walls/black shutters) down the street and around their neighborhood now have yellow/buff walls and blue shutters.

I'm thinking a lot of big, light-colored rugs. And of course white or light walls.

I had rancid peanut butter once; it was stuff I bought at a farmer's market from peanut farmers, and usually their pb was great, but this one jar was awful. And I don't know if it was like that when I bought it, since I didn't open it for quite a while. So now I keep the natural pb in the fridge, and I don't buy the processed stuff anymore.

Nope. Don't miss any of these. So grateful for computers, cell phones and tablets.
